	As Jakub pointed out, there is a burden - having to wait for the slower
arches to complete a build. I was under the impression that that was one
of the main things that secondary arches was intended to fix.

	Couldn't we have automatic ExcludeArch bug filing when a build fails on
a secondary arch?
